Schedule planned use (on the 'Schedule' clipboard on each cart!)
Proper Use of Cart and Laptops:
-
Plug in power cord (110 v).
-
If the cart has a functional printer
-
-
Connect ethernet cable to LAN (plug into the wall or a switch).
-
To distribute the laptops, students should:
If possible, take the laptop previously assigned to them. OR
Sign log - check quantity & note any problems on clipboard (in door), OR
Students unplug laptops & check condition.
After use, return laptops to cart (students should close their documents and quit 'extra' applications ONLY (other than word processing and browser) - no need shutdown.
Stowage - slide laptops to back; carefully plug in power cords; lock doors (leave power side locked).
Transport - disconnect & coil cables.
Storage - Place cart in secure location; connect 110 v. power so the batteries will charge.
Recommendations:
-
Do not shutdown the laptops except on weekends / vacations - or if they are behaving badly!
Simply close & stow them - this will save time & prevent problems.
-
Do NOT disconnect the cart before stowing the laptops.
